Is this what they mean by Weasel words?=
305 speakers, well lets have their names and telephone numbers or I'll put a [citation needed] superscript there, after all white men gathered such statistics

ĝ and x̂
There's no information about or explanation of the use of ĝ and x̂̂ either here or in the article Circumflex. Could someone who knows more expand the two articles to explain what the unusual diacritic-combinations signify, please? — OwenBlacker (Talk) 20:44, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Number of speakers
Western Central dialects: 60-80
Eastern dialects: 400
Total: 305
Well, well...

A couple of questions, and a comment
So, as i'm shuffling through languages, looking for sources for an orthogonal dictionary i'm working on, it seems to me that the number of active speakers of Aleut seems to differ from place to place (tbh that's to be expected, but stay with me here). Most places, including this talk page seem to state 250-400 native speakers, but the page itself states only... 100-150??? I'm a bit confused due to the fact that the sources differ from the wiki page, and even more so considering citation Number 7 (leading, at one point, to www.uaf.edu/anlc/languages/al) is dead, as well as citation number 8 (leading to www.uaf.edu/anlc/languages/stats/). Citation 6 won't load on my computer currently, but i'll check that later. I'm not disagreeing with the number given by the article, considering that Citation 9 states this number as well, and that's UNESCO saying that, but i'm just saying that none of the other links seem to work, and that they might have originally stated different numbers. IDK tho...
Phonology
Split proposal
I propose to split the alphabet section out into another article. There is sufficient information, but not text, to facilitate an article about this topic. Furthermore, there are numerous articles about languages' alphabets and writing systems, so for consistency, we should have an article for the Aleut alphabet. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 22:28, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
:* SUPPORT. The language article is lengthy and rather unwieldy with excessive tables. It should be easy enough to create written descriptions about the writing system to accompany the tables. Yuchitown (talk) 03:31, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
